You're listening to Jeff Daniels.

"I'll send ALL of your toys into space" is the new "I'll turn this car around".

Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but there ARE plenty of folks walking around with damaged screens. I don't want to be one of them.

Many of us will re-sell their devices down the road. Cases protect resale value.

Nicely done. You're like the Jon Stewart of Gizmodo.

LOL. No sh*t, iPhone games aren't as good as those written for a machine whose primary raison d'etre is for playing games.

"There's a long list of reasons why you should keep your vehicle's tires properly inflated—from better mileage to safer handling"

Ah, that old solution. Why use a bandage when you just as easily have not cut your finger instead, right?

I tend to put my phone face-down on my desk; having a case that protrudes ever-so-slightly past the front of the phone does indeed protect the screen.

Hell, the 2010 episode aired AFTER Halloween. Now THAT'S ridiculous.

The Simpsons on an off-day is still better than most other shows at their best.

Ah, THERE's the pin. Clearly I don't have a Retina display MacBook :P

I think there was more to the Apple v Samsung case than just icons, but I agree with your point.

While the inspiration is obvious, there are a couple of tiny differences that might work in Apple's favour in court:

Seriously, the mobile website is your best bet. Way better interface than the app (which hasn't been updated since iOS 2 as far as I can recall!). Put a bookmark to it on your home screen, tuck the app away into a folder (or upgrade to iOS 6 and let it disappear altogether!) and move on :)

Not in the Canadian store, alas :(

Hey, Giz writers: how 'bout a #battlemodo outlining competing map apps? We need something to tide us over 'till Google gets their own map app into the App Store.

In all the time you spent writing angry posts on Giz, you could've figured out that you CAN disable the update checker:

I write a lot of scripts for my own uses, and can have them send out Growl notifications when they've performed their task; very handy, and I can't do it via NC.

The free version works fine, and Growl still makes it available for download on their website. No one's making you upgrade.
